040-005* Noah's folk denied it even before them, and [so did] the coalition later on. Every nation worried about their own messenger, how to catch him [off guard]. They argued with him in vain to refute the Truth. So I caught up with them and how [awful] was My punishment!
Al-Ladhīna Yaĥmilūna Al-`Arsha Wa Man Ĥawlahu Yusabbiĥūna Biĥamdi Rabbihim Wa Yu'uminūna Bihi Wa Yastaghfirūna Lilladhīna 'Āmanū Rabbanā Wasi`ta Kulla Shay'inRaĥmatan Wa `Ilmāan Fāghfir Lilladhīna Tābū Wa Attaba`ū Sabīlaka Wa Qihim `Adhāba Al-Jaĥīmi
040-007* The ones who uphold the Throne and anyone surrounding it hymn their Lord's praise and believe in Him. They seek forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord, You embrace everything through mercy and knowledge. Forgive those who repent and follow Your path: shield them from the torment of Hades.

040-010* The ones who disbelieve will be addressed [as follows]: "God's disgust will be even greater than your own disgust is towards one another when you are called upon to believe and [still] disbelieve."
Qālū Rabbanā 'Amattanā Athnatayni Wa 'Aĥyaytanā Athnatayni Fā`tarafnā Bidhunūbinā Fahal 'Ilá Khurūjin Min Sabīlin
040-011* They will say: "Our Lord, You have let us die twice and have revived us twice, and so we [now] acknowledge our sins. Is there no way to escape from here?"
040-012* This has happened because you disbelieved when God was invoked in His Oneness, while if others were associated with him, you would believe. Discretion belongs to God, the Sublime, the Great.
Rafī`u Ad-Darajāti Dhū Al-`Arshi Yulqī Ar-Rūĥa Min 'Amrihi `Alá Man Yashā'u Min `Ibādihi Liyundhira Yawma At-Talāqi
040-015* Lofty in rank, Possessor of the Throne, He drops the Spirit of His bidding on any of Hi servants He may wish, so he may warn about the day of the Meeting,
040-016* the day when they will [all] emerge. Nothing concerning them is hidden from God. Who holds control today? God Alone, the Irresistible hold it!
Wa 'Andhirhum Yawma Al-'Āzifati 'Idhi Al-Qulūbu Ladá Al-Ĥanājiri Kāžimīna ۚ Mā Lilžžālimīna Min Ĥamīmin Wa Lā Shafī`in Yuţā`u
040-018* Warn them about the day of the Approach [of Doom], when hearts will leap up into their throats, to choke them. Wrongdoers will have no bosom friend nor any intercessor who will be obeyed.

040-020* God judges correctly while those they appeal to instead of Him do not decide a thing. God is the Alert, the Observant. Philosophy of History (III)

040-021* Have they not travelled around the earth and seen what the outcome was for those who preceded them? They were even stronger than they are and left more remains on earth. God seized them because of their sins and there was no one to shield them from God.
040-022* That was because their own messengers were sent to them with explanations and they still disbelieved. So God seized them; He is Strong, Stern in punishment. Moses
Falammā Jā'ahum Bil-Ĥaqqi Min `Indinā Qālū Aqtulū 'Abnā'a Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Ma`ahu Wa Astaĥyū Nisā'ahum ۚ Wa Mā Kaydu Al-Kāfirīna 'Illā Fī Đalālin
040-025* When he brought them the Truth from Our presence, they said: "Kill the sons of those who have believed along with him, and let their women live." Yet disbelievers' plotting only goes astray.

040-028* A man from Pharaoh's court who was a believer and had hiding his faith said: "What, will you kill a man for merely saying: 'My Lord is God'? He has brought you explanations about your Lord. If he is a liar, then his lie falls upon himself, while if he is truthful, some of what he threatens you with will afflict you. God does not guide anyone who is a preposterous liar.
040-029* My folk, you hold control today as masters d earth. Who will support us against God's might if it should ever come to us?" Pharaoh said: "I am only showing you what I see myself, I am only guiding you along the path of normal behavior."
Mithla Da'bi Qawmi Nūĥin Wa `Ādin Wa Thamūda Wa Al-Ladhīna Min Ba`dihim ۚ Wa Mā Al-Lahu Yurīdu Žulmāan Lil`ibādi
040-031* the same as in the case of Noah's folk, and Ad's and Thamud's, as well as those who came after them. God wants no injustice to happen to [His] servants.
Yawma Tuwallūna Mudbirīna Mā Lakum Mina Al-Lahi Min `Āşimin ۗ Wa Man Yuđlili Al-Lahu Famā Lahu Min Hādin
040-033* the day when you will (all) turn around to retreat. You will not have any defender against God; anyone whom God lets go astray will have no guide.
Wa Laqad Jā'akum Yūsufu MinQablu Bil-Bayyināti Famā Ziltum Fī Shakkin Mimmā Jā'akum Bihi ۖ Ĥattá 'Idhā Halaka Qultum Lan Yab`atha Al-Lahu Min Ba`dihiRasūlāan ۚ Kadhālika Yuđillu Al-Lahu Man Huwa Musrifun Murtābun
040-034* "Joseph brought you explanations before, yet you continued to suspect what he had brought you until when he perished, you said: 'God will never despatch a messenger after him!' Thus God lets any extravagant doubter stray away;
040-035* the ones who argue about God's signs without any authority to do so having been brought them, incur the greatest disgust so far as God is concerned and so far as those who believe are concerned. Thus God seals off every overbearing oppressor's heart."
'Asbāba As-Samāwāti Fa'aţţali`a 'Ilá 'Ilahi Mūsá Wa 'Innī La'ažunnuhu Kādhibāan ۚ Wa Kadhalika Zuyyina Lifir`awna Sū'u `Amalihi Wa Şudda `Ani As-Sabīli ۚ Wa Mā Kaydu Fir`awna 'Illā Fī Tabābin
040-037* the access to Heaven, so I may climb up to Moses' God. Still I think he is a liar." Thus his evil action was made to seem attractive to Pharaoh, and he was hampered along the Way. Pharaoh's plot only meant (his own) downfall. Responsibility is Rewarded (V)

040-040* Anyone who commits some evil deed will merely be rewarded with something else like it, while someone who acts honorably, whether it is a man or a woman, provided he is a believer will enter the Garden. He [or she] will be provided for there without any reckoning.
Tad`ūnanī Li'kfura Bil-Lahi Wa 'Ushrika Bihi Mā Laysa Lī Bihi `Ilmun Wa 'Anā 'Ad`ūkum 'Ilá Al-`Azīzi Al-Ghaffāri
040-042* You invite me to deny God and to associate something with Him I have no knowledge about, while I invite you to [meet] the Powerful, the Forgiver.
Lā Jarama 'Annamā Tad`ūnanī 'Ilayhi Laysa Lahu Da`watun Fī Ad-Dunyā Wa Lā Fī Al-'Ākhirati Wa 'Anna Maraddanā 'Ilá Al-Lahi Wa 'Anna Al-Musrifīna Hum 'Aşĥābu An-Nāri
040-043* You are merely inviting me to [worship] someone who has positively no way of being invoked in this world nor in the Hereafter. Our ultimate appeal will be to God, while the dissipated will become inmates of the Fire.
An-Nāru Yu`rađūna `Alayhā Ghudūwāan Wa `Ashīyāan ۖ Wa Yawma Taqūmu As-Sā`atu 'Adkhilū 'Āla Fir`awna 'Ashadda Al-`Adhābi

040-047* As they quarrel away inside the Fire, the weaklings will tell those who acted proudly: "We were your following. Wont you spare us from a portion of the Fire?"
040-050* They will say: "Did not your messengers bring you explanations?" They will say: "Of course!" They will say : "Well, make [your own] appeal then!" Yet the disbelievers' go astray. (VI)
040-056* Those who argue about God's signs without their having any authority to do so, only feel pride within their breasts; they shall never achieve anything. Take refuge with God; He is the Alert, the Observant.
Wa Mā Yastawī Al-'A`má Wa Al-Başīru Wa Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa `Amilū Aş-Şāliĥāti Wa Lā Al-Musī'u ۚ Qalīlāan Mā Tatadhakkarūna
040-058* A blind and a sighted person are not equal, nor are those who believe and perform honorable actions, and an evildoer, How seldom do you keep it in mind!
040-061* God is the One Who has granted you night so you may rest in it, and daylight to see your way around. God possesses bounty for mankind, even hough most men are not grateful for it. A Hymn to God
Al-Lahu Al-Ladhī Ja`ala Lakumu Al-'Arđa Qarārāan Wa As-Samā'a Binā'an Wa Şawwarakum Fa'aĥsana Şuwarakum Wa Razaqakum Mina Aţ-Ţayyibāti ۚ Dhalikumu Al-LahuRabbukum ۖ Fatabāraka Al-LahuRabbu Al-`Ālamīna
040-064* God is the One Who has granted you the earth to settle down on and the sky built above you, and has shaped you. He has made your shapes handsome and provided you with wholesome things. Such is God, your Lord; so blessed is God Lord of the Universe!

040-065* He is the Living; there is no deity except Him, so appeal to Him sincerely, [making] religion exclusively His. Praise he to God, Lord of the Universe?
Qul 'Innī Nuhītu 'An 'A`buda Al-Ladhīna Tad`ūna Min Dūni Al-Lahi Lammā Jā'aniya Al-Bayyinātu MinRabbī Wa 'Umirtu 'An 'Uslima Lirabbi Al-`Ālamīna
040-066* SAY: "I have been forbidden to worship those you appeal to instead of to God [Alone], since explanations have reached me from my Lord, and I have been ordered to commit myself peacefully to the Lord of the Universe. Man's Stages
Huwa Al-Ladhī Khalaqakum Min TurābinThumma Min NuţfatinThumma Min `AlaqatinThumma YukhrijukumŢiflāanThumma Litablughū 'AshuddakumThumma Litakūnū Shuyūkhāan ۚ Wa Minkum Man Yutawaffá MinQablu ۖ Wa Litablughū 'Ajalāan Musammáan Wa La`allakum Ta`qilūna
040-067* "He is the One Who created you from dust, then from a drop of semen, then from a clot. Next He brings you forth as a child, then lets you reach maturity. Then you will grow elderly, even though some of you may pass away even earlier, and you will reach an appointed deadline so that you may use your reason.

040-074* instead of God [Alone]?" They will say: "They have left us in the lurch. In fact we did not appeal to anything previously." Thus God lets disbelievers go astray.
040-077* Yet be patient: God's promise will come true whether We show you part of what We promise them or recall you to Us; to Us they (too) will be returned. Other Messages
Wa Laqad 'Arsalnā Rusulāan MinQablika Minhum ManQaşaşnā `Alayka Wa Minhum Man Lam Naqşuş `Alayka ۗ Wa Mā Kāna Lirasūlin 'An Ya'tiya Bi'āyatin 'Illā Bi'idhni Al-Lahi ۚ Fa'idhā Jā'a 'Amru Al-LahiQuđiya Bil-Ĥaqqi Wa Khasira Hunālika Al-Mubţilūna
040-078* We have sent messengers before you, some of whom We have told you about, while We have not told you about others. No messenger may bring any sign unless it is with God's permission. Once God's command comes, [matters] will be decided correctly, and that is where the quibblers will lose out! (IX)
Wa Lakum Fīhā Manāfi`u Wa Litablughū `Alayhā Ĥājatan Fī Şudūrikum Wa `Alayhā Wa `Alá Al-Fulki Tuĥmalūna
040-080* You receive benefits from them so that by means of them, you may satisfy any need you have in mind; on them and on shipboard are you transported.
040-082* Have you not travelled around the earth and observed what the outcome has been for those who preceded them? They were more numerous and stronger than they are, and they [left greater] remains on earth. Yet whatever they had accomplished did not help them out:
Falammā Jā'at/humRusuluhum Bil-Bayyināti Fariĥū Bimā `Indahum Mina Al-`Ilmi Wa Ĥāqa Bihim Mā Kānū Bihi Yastahzi'ūn
040-083* when their messengers brought them explanations, they were happy with the knowledge they already possessed; so what they had been making fun of swept in around them.
040-085* Their [sudden] faith did not benefit them once they saw Our might; [such is] God's practice which He has already used with His servants. The disbelievers lost out right there!
